"How I spent Mother's Day"



Let's just start by saying that my mother's day was spent right where I wanted to be, with my cute babies and husband! Chris is so sweet he gave me the nicest card, and then also agift from him, Devin, and Addison. It was so fulfilling to see 3 people that morning, 2 of which are our newest additions. I feel so lucky to get to celebrate mother's day with these two cuties :

I got so many gifts between chris, my family, and his family! I feel awfully spoiled, but I guess your allowed to be on mother's day :) So I just wanted to take a minute to tell Devin and Addison how much I love them.


Dev and Addi you both are my world. Words cannot express how excited I was each time I found I was pregnant with each of you. You both have been such a gift, and I can't describe just how happy having you both has made me. Daddy and I liked just hanging with eachother before either of you were here, but we love hanging with both of you now so much MORE!! Feeling both of you kick for the first time in my belly was the most amazing feeling ever! I loved you both so long before I ever even met you. You also both wanted to enter into this world with a grand entrance! In fact you both were so anxious get here, that you both came 7 weeks early. You had mommy and daddy very nervous both times, but proved us wrong by being such fighters. The NICU was no match for you, and you blew all the nurses away each time. Daddy and I are so blessed to have such special people in our lives, we have already learned so much from you. We are aware of really just how bad your deliveries and entrance into this world could have been ,but heavenly father made sure you were safe and healthy. That is something that makes you both so special. You have already had such a big challenge in life, and you both fought through it. Thank you both so much for coming into my life and changing it forever. I love you both more than I could ever tell you in words! Thank you for making it possible for me to truly learn such a love that is only for a child.



Love,

Mommy :)
